Check the Label

A. Look for three (3) mixtures at home with their labels intact.
● Two (2) of these must have distinct/different units of concentration.
● One that doesn’t have the unit of concentration directly indicated or has a concentration unit not discussed in our lesson but it has an indicated amount of the active
ingredient (mass or volume, usually)
B. For the last product, convert its concentration unit to other units in our lesson.

Oral Rehydration Salts Solution Potassium ● Potassium chloride -

(Hydrite) chloride replaces this essential ion,
which is lost during
Trisodium citrate diarrhoea and vomiting.
dihydrate
● Trisodium citrate dihydrate - 75 mmol /4.1 g
Sodium Chloride corrects the acidosis that (Glucose)
occurs as a result of
diarrhea and dehydration.

● Glucose, anhydrous -
facilitates absorption of
sodium and hence water.
